Klöckner Quality Candy/ Hard Candy

Klöckner Hänsel´s machines and installations have the most advanced available technology. They are successfully used world-wide in order to enable our customers to produce high quality candies in an efficient way. Our installations can be configured from an extensive product range, in order to fulfil almost all the production requirements of our customers. In cases where a relevant installation concept is unavailable, our engineers in the CandyLab develop customer-specific solutions. Klöckner Hänsel´s tailor-made installations allow the production of unfilled, centre-filled, aerated, laminated and sugar-free candies, as well as medicated ones. Deposited candies and further specialties are also possible, e.g. milky candies or toffees. Whatever the wold-wide candy market requires: we can offer a reliable and high quality solution to you.

Contigrav / Thermograv

CrossFlow

Continuous production of candy products

For: Crystal-free dissolving, precooking, cooking of sugar-water-glucose slurry

Brief description:

  • Continuously operating steam heated heat exchanger designed for dissolving, precooking, cooking of candy masses
  • Available heating areas: 3 m² up to 13 m²
  • Vertical space-saving installation
  • compact design - arrangement close to the flash-off-chamber possible
  • no dead spots
  • Stable cooking temperature
  • Uniform product outlet into the evaporation area
  • Reproducable high product quality
  • Short residence times – gentle treatment of product in process
  • Optimum start-up and stopping behaviour – short reaction times
  • Easy to maintain – no moving parts
  • easy cleaning – with CIP pump in a loop
  • product is guided as a turbulent counter-current flow against steam inside the tube bundle
  • Bundle of steam pipes inside the product - minimizes thermal radiation, even more reduced by thermal insulation

Output: up to 5.000 kg/h, depending on size and cooking conditions

Sucroliner

Continuous manufacturing of hard candy masses

For: production of hard boiled candy, sugar canes and lolli-pops 

Brief description:

  • 60:40 to 40:60: sugar (dry) - glucose (wet) ratio
  • all ranges of basic recipes
  • constant uniform consistency of the tempered sugar mass as basic condition for highly centre-filled candy
  • exact dosage of ingredients and homogeneous merging of volatile active ingredients for the production of medicated and vitamin sweets
  • patented vacuum technology for sugar-free hard boiled candy made from ISOMALT or MALTITOL
  • air injection into the enclosed mixing screw for the production of aerated hard boiled candy replaces large-scale mechanical pulling processes
  • simultaneous production from up to 4 candy masses with different recipes and output e.g. for a direct feeding into the STRADA-forming lines
  • milk hard candy via cooking with permanent vacuum

Output: 500 kg/h  to > 4.000 kg/h

Rotamat

Continuous rotor cooking system

For: hard and deposited candy, jelly, marshmallow, fondant, bars/foam 

Brief description:

  • universal continuous rotor cooking system
  • excellent heat transfer characteristics
  • special static zero-clearance scraper
  • cooking time within seconds
  • no burning to the rotor surface because of steam heated stator
  • automatic control of the boiling temperature
  • cooking under permanent vacuum, e.g. white milk candy
  • for caramelised products the downstream installed Caramaster provides the requested adjustable residence-time = caramelisation-time
  • modular design allows more than two rotor cooking units to be linked to one evaporation chamber
  • easy maintenance

Output: 300 up to more than 1.000 kg/h

Strada

continuous production line for formed sweets (unfilled, highly filled – liquid or powders) laminated

For: e.g. hard candy, chewy candy, toffee, eclairs

Brief description:

  • production of unfilled up to highly filled quality candy using either chain or rotary dies
  • production of unfilled candy with the rotary die
  • for filling degrees up to 35 %
  • homogeneous sugar rope due to the 4-roller system of the batch former
  • precise centring of the filling mass within the sugar rope through the roller head of the rope sizing machine HZU
  • quick change of the die sets at the forming machine, (max. 1 min.)
  • closed cooling-air circuit
  • high productivity, the output can reach up to 2.000 kg/h of candy depending upon candy size and weight
  • well formed high quality product
  • high safety in operation
  • easy to clean
  • low maintenance cost and time
  • easy to operate
  • wide range of accessories

Output: 15 up to 180 m/h rope speed
